    You should look into a cover crop in your large open dirt areas like clover that would keep weeds to a minimum, plus it helps with nitrogen fixation.

    There's a channel here in America called "The Boring Channel" which he travels around the country cleaning and fixing people's yards for free and he does a long version of cleaning and sometimes will use the timelapse. His videos can be 2 hrs long. I love watching them. It's relaxing, especially when you have nice calming music.

    I first found your detail channel a while back, and then this one was shortly after. While i love watching vehicle detailing and learned some good tips from you, this channel is right up my alley. I love trees and gardening, so it's been a treat watching your propety develop. I can actually picture it 20 years from now. My dad, back in the 80s, threw the 90s, planted over 3000 trees on my parents property. It is now the most beautiful forest with a trail threw it. I like to think thats where i got my love for trees :)

    Metal mulching blade will make those weeds a thing of the past. Works wonders on blackberry brambles with main stalks around 1-2 inches.

  • @schoonergirl2658
    @schoonergirl2658 3 дня назад +10

    Wow, those weeds! I think you need a blade instead of a string for your trimmer. I’m so sorry to hear you have carpal tunnel issues, with everything you do it’s not surprising. I hope you can get help with it. The yard’s really coming along, it’s beautiful now,can’t wait to see it more mature. Happy New Year everyone!

    Have you considered a bush hog deck for your John Deer? My dad used one on his Kubota to mow meadow areas on his property.

  • @steeshyboy

    You need an Oregon mulching blade for that strimmer for the thick weeds.

    Mitch I love all your channels but I especially love the Yard Geek series. Love all the hard work you are doing on your property. Have you considered purchasing a bush hog to deal with the weeds. You might want to look into one. It will really make a big difference. Good luck with those, they are monsters. Thank you for all the great content.

    Idk if u have ever seen a steam weed killer. It’s a machine similar to a weed eater, but it used extreme hot steam to kill the weeds. No chemicals. 😊

    "Trying hard to be good little trees" lol I chuckled at that. Also, yes to live streams and real time videos. I like the music but love natural sounds. Sorry to hear you suffer with Carpal Tunnel too. I do as well and it's no fun. Great video as always 🫶🏽

  • @KathleenAhart
    @KathleenAhart 3 дня назад +3

    Happy New Year, Mitch. I loved that you planted so many trees. Smart. Now that was some piles of mulch. You need to get someone in there to help you. Also smart not putting down landscape fabric. That seems to make more of a mess in the future. If you have a local extension office, like we have in the USA, you might want to talk to someone about fertilizer, etc, for the trees and plants and when it's advantageous to apply. Your property is really going to shine when those trees really get some growth.

    Livestreams aren't usually something I watch, but I would probably watch certain ones to get a better idea of what work has to go into something I want to do. I want to do something similar once I get my own channel actually started. First time visiting this channel, usually watch your car details on the other channel and enjoyed the studio series, like what I see here.

    I'd watch the livestream. Love all your content Mitch from both channels. It's been enjoyable watching as your property progresses. There are attachments made that might fit your trimmer to help cut through the brush. There are universal head attachments as well. Keep up the great work!

  • @ChanoWilliams
    @ChanoWilliams 3 дня назад +1

    I've learned to increase the speed with certain videos where I want to watch the process, but not in real time. The only time it's inconvenient is when the creator talks over the video, but otherwise I like the ability to control the speed myself. Sometimes real time is good for background noise. Other times I'm genuinely focused on the video and don't need to watch it for 3 hours. lol
    Thanks for sharing!

    Have you considered something like prodiamine for the weed control? As a pre emergent, it won't hurt your existing plants, and you wouldn't have to apply more than twice a year, limiting your chemical exposure

    Your right fabric dosen't work it breaks down and weeds do pop through. So I started the weed control from lowes I shake it over the area before putting my rock in I use river rock. We just bought this home in July sold our other home I had my landscaping so pretty thats why the house sold so fast plus the inside was turn key. Now I need to start all over once spring returns I will be doing landscaping once again I do enjoy it❤

    If you use a weed torch after a rain, weeds die down pretty well. We do that rather than Round Up. (They don't need to burn. The heat bursts cells, and the plants die.)

    Assuming you are using a string trimmer that uses .095 diameter string you could try ECHO string called “Black Diamond” very strong string kinda expensive. Or find a cutting blade for your string trimmer head. I have a lawn care company and do multiple cleanups for people with thick weed debris and Black Diamond is our go to! Hope that helps! Always worth a shot! Cheers brother!

  • @BNM0826
    @BNM0826 2 дня назад +1

    Another nice one. Looks like u need some heavy duty equipment (mower) for them weeds. I agree with limiting the chemicals and not using the fabric. As for the live stream- either seems fine, just as long as there’s content and a mix of it such as the camera work. Thanks for posting

  • @alexrdh3591

    Mixture of vinegar salt and dawn dish soap in a sprayer for those weeds. It will will turn them brown in a short time.

    You should look into a walk behind brush hog or one that can attach to the John Deere. It would make short work of the weeds until you get the grass planted.

    Since you want to limit the roundup try using straight vinger probably won’t kill all your weeds but I have found it works fairly well and it is definitely worth try. One other bonus it’s pretty inexpensive

  • @traceys23
    @traceys23 2 дня назад +1
